i like it including the rear lights, on a red car keep the lights as they are but black or white bm's i like to get shot of all red and amber, i don't even want a yellow plate at the back

[Sanchez]

what paint did you paint the rocker cover with.

I agree, on a red car id have all reds, id prefer black and white plates aswell, just loadsa hassle to get them.

Uh i think i used an interior paint from homebase or something, said its good for 250 degrees so its ok, just a project paint spray i think, nothing special, i couldnt find any proper engine or high temp paint.

The rear lights are a bit dark +I like badges but each to their own.Other than that looks nice.
Only you will see the under the bonnet.


what do you use for an ariel as I have taken mine out and filled the hole as it was letting in water.The ariel is lying in the boot and I still get a signal.
ps some front fogs would be nice

When i took the ariel out i took some of the boot lining away so i could get to the hole, and found some brackets, i guess they were just for the wires but the ariel fit in there sweet as a nut, put the boot lining back, no one knows.

And i kinda gave up on the foglights idea as all my mates have em and they are on 24/7, pisses me rite off. But i do want to get some eventually, just to say i got em lol.

Mean E30 mate! Although mine's original. Look great in white don't they?

no ,id prefer mine to be calypso red

[Chris]

Y dont you have BMW badges on the rims?

[Sparkysparks]

I took them off and sprayed the caps silver to match the wheels.
I thought there's no point in doing all the work on the bonnet and boot without finishing the job
You like?

[tommoh3000]

Engine looks sweet - Not feeling the rear lights though mate

if you keep the black/white colour code they looks to bollox in my opinion.

[strongbowgeorge]

Looking absolutely mint and I definetly like the rear lights, just glad I have the pleasure of many journeys in this car, it's quick too .

[Geeman]

Looks nice.

Not liking the Tech 1 skirts in black though. Not liking the black rear lights either. Not liking no badges in the wheels too. And I can never understand the de-badging of the boot, but leaving the cut-out in the spoiler there...

[flameproof jumpsuit on]

Call me boring, I know... but that's just my opinion. Apart from thsoe things, the car looks great!

[Pal318is]

Hmm funny story actually. The only time ive been pulled over is cus the feds thought i was a girl (cus i had long hair at the time) Cheeky bastards eh!

Im told that as long as the reflector can be seen when there is a light on it, its legel. Yet i wouldnt like to let a cop have a close look.

And Pal318is im well up for a meet. I went to my first the other day at south mimms, only stayed for a bit but it was cool.
